Depends on whether they are using it or not. eg., you can write Python
bindings without using GObject Introspection. But do not worry because
we are only bothered about the underlying C library and trying to
write C++ bindings for it. mm-style C++ bindings [1] do not need
GObject Introspection.

If you just build the sources using 'make' then you will find a binary
in the peas-demo directory. Did you try running it?

If you are installing (using 'make install') libpeas in a separate
prefix (eg., /usr/local or /opt) then you might need to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If libpeas-2.0.so.0 gets
installed in /opt/lib then you need to set the variable as:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib
before running any program that uses it (or dynamically links to it).

Happy hacking,
